Wrongful Death Attorney in Fairfax VA

A wrongful death is defined as the loss of life to a person as a result of another's actions. Whether the act was intentional or unintentional is of no consequence. If an individual or entity causes harm to another person and the injuries sustained result in that person's death, then the individual may be held liable for wrongful death. A wrongful death claim has no correlation with criminal action, meaning that even if the defendant is cleared of criminal charges, the victim's family may still be able to pursue civil action for wrongful death.
